[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 5 yo has some SN, but is not on any medication for it. We do speak to a psychiatrist to monitor her anxiety, and recently asked about melatonin. She said it's fine, that human beings evolved when there wasn't electricity and lights and now that we live in a world with that and screens, our melatonin levels.are off. I wish we had used it more when DD was 3. She was not sleeping well due to transitioning out of the crib and it really affected her anxiety and behavior.[/quote] You could make some adjustments to electricity and lighting FYI. No screens, blue light apps on cell phones, red spectrum light/candles after a certain time at night. Our son is sensitive to visual stimulation, so we use a booklight red spectrum to read at night and especially in the winter use battery-operated candles after 630/7. We limit overhead lighting all the time. [/quote] Thanks[/quote]
